Rosaceae

The Rosa ‘Elizabeth Taylor’, an award-winning and highly fragrant hybrid tea rose, is distinguished by its large, double, vibrant deep pink flowers with thick, perfectly spiraled petals. Its powerful, rich, and citrusy fragrance is one of its main assets, making it an excellent choice for close-up gardens and scented bouquets. The flowers show excellent longevity and good rain resistance compared to several classic hybrid teas. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit forms a dense and well-structured shrub, ideal for sunny borders or as a specimen plant. Prolific and remontant, it offers several sustained waves of bloom throughout the summer. Its dark green, very glossy, and resistant foliage shows excellent disease tolerance in rich, well-drained soil. The Rosa ‘Elizabeth Taylor’ combines floral intensity, marked fragrance, and horticultural performance.
